The name Madonna came about while combing through one of many lists of cat names. After trying out what felt like a million names, the name Madonna was the only one that just seemed to fit. Her middle names "Caterina" and "Loren" are both taken form 2 women who i admire. Caterina was the birth name of Catherine d'Medici queen of France. Loren is taken from italian actress Sophia Loren.
